“In photography, soft focus is a lens flaw, in which the lens forms images that are blurred due to spherical aberration. A soft focus lens deliberately introduces spherical aberration in order to give the appearance of blurring the image while retaining sharp edges; it is not the same as an out-of-focus image, and the effect cannot be achieved simply by defocusing a sharp lens. Soft focus is also the name of the style of photograph produced by such a lens.”

However I am pretty sure none of us are going to be heading out and purchasing a new lens to do this but don’t panic because there are other ways you can create this effect both in camera and in post production editing.

Remember soft focus is NOT the same as an out-of-focus shot and can not be achieved by simply defocusing a sharp lens!

One of the things I have tried to do with the monthly prompt is to not only challenge but to inspire and hopefully encourage people to learn and try out new skills. I am aware this month that I am pushing the boat out in that regard and so am posting the prompt earlier than normal to give people as much time as possible to work on their images ready for the 1st weekend in April.

The prompt is published here on the site mid month, which will give people approximately 2 weeks to work on their idea before linking in, on the 1st weekend of the month. The prompt is completely optional and you can link in as normal on that weekend whether you have used the prompt or not. The usual Sinful Sunday rules will, of course, apply. Please make sure you have read them recently so that you are fully aware of what is and is not allowed.

As always interpret as you wish, or disregard altogether and do you own thing.

Have your post ready to go for Sunday 5th April 2015. Any questions or queries can be posted in the comments below, you can email me molly@mollysdailykiss.com or tweet me @mollysdailykiss

March is here and that means it is time for the monthly prompt which is: Senses

Touch, taste, sight, smell and sound are the 5 senses and when it comes to sex they play very important roles. Whether you are stimulating them or depriving them they are the corner stone to our physical experiences. Senses can be played with in so many ways.

Sinful Sunday is all about the image. If you are here for the first time make sure you read up on the rules then grab the code from the side bar, add to your post and leave the link to your post (not the url of your main site) in the list below.

If you have any problems or questions then you can always email me at molly@mollysdailykiss.com. If you are on Twitter please do spread the word about #sinfulsunday by including the hashtag in your tweets and don’t forget to tell your blogging friends about it as well. The more people who join in, the more successful the meme becomes for all who take part.

Each week I write a Sinful Sunday weekly round-up highlighting my top 5 images from the previous Sunday. All images used are fully credited and linked back to the original post. If anyone objects to having their image used in the round-up then you need to let me know, otherwise I will assume that by taking part you are happy to be featured on the Sinful Sunday site.

One last thing before you go I can’t urge you enough to please comment on people’s work, no matter whether you are a fellow blogger or a consumer of their work I can assure you that all the people who leave their links on this page want to hear what you have to say.

It is my great pleasure to welcome F dot Leonora to the weekly round-up. If you are not aware of her blog then you might want to correct that as you are missing out on the beautiful erotic stories that just seem to flow from her fingertips.

F dot Leonora’s Top 5 pics of the Week

A picture is worth a thousand words. I was so honored that Molly asked me to do the Sinful Sunday round-up! This week, it was really a challenge, as she tweeted. So many sexy images to enjoy and I especially love the unsaid words from this week’s contributors, the level of imagination and sensuality was off the charts.

To pick five was a very hard task, but I did. And those not on this list? Well everyone is a more than honorable mention…

I mean this was just the full package! Sexy pictures full of attitude, that made glossy black and white look flame-colored. And the accompanied lyrics from Cabaret?! This photo session was a performance of the best kind.

Flutterby always astounds me, as she is the epitome of femininity. This photo is so soft, it looks like the sun giving the morning a bath. The accompanying words, fall like pearls of deep wisdom. Feminine and gorgeous…

Molly is always at the top of her game, her photos always provocatively challenge me as a viewer. All indications of a fight are rampant, but the colors are warm and soft in contrast to the Darwinistic eyes that peer out at us. I love the contradiction and promise in this photograph.

Ouizzi has such a gorgeous photo here in contrast to the feelings that accompany it. The black and white works well, because it is kind of gritty. It looks like the photo is being stolen, like we are getting a sexy moment stolen just for us.

Tabitha is a lover of surrealism like me, and this is an experiment in that. I mean there are so many twists and turns with the colors and presentation. No words, none are needed. The risk, the daring, everything is so out on a limb and ridiculously sexy. Tabitha is an artistic genius, and she never stops proving that…

I will happily admit that I miss Yummy’s Sinful Sunday contributions, she was always such a dedicated member of the meme but I hopeful that when life allows she will return to these pages. In the meantime I am picking this image of hers as the Blast from the Past this week quite simply because every time I look at it I can’t help but giggle. Who knew that giant cock fish can be found in the Med!
